It lands just like a regular airplane... unless you want to fly like a drunk gorilla and slip down the last quarter mile of final, which I don't think any real pro pilots do.
You kick out the crab and do what you need to do with the wing while in the flare just like any other airplane. It's easily my favorite airplane I've ever flown.
